[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a waterproof power socket includes a socket body 1 with two sets of socket holes 20. A waterproof structure is provided at the front end of each socket hole 20. The waterproof structure includes two sets of first waterproof plates 23 and second waterproof plates 24. A slider 45 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the first waterproof plates 23 and the bottom of each of the second waterproof plates 24. The slider 45 is slidably connected inside a slide groove 27, which is formed on a first mounting bracket 21 and a second mounting bracket 22. A second spring 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 45. The second spring 44 is located away from... One side of the slider 45 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 27. The rear ends of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 are both provided with grooves 29. A bracket 30 is fixedly connected to the groove 29. A connecting column 34 is fixedly connected between the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22. A fixing plate 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 34. A mounting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 33. A moving block 39 is slidably connected inside the mounting plate 41. A connecting block 38 is fixedly connected to the moving block 39. The connecting block 38 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 36.

[0024] Through the structural design of the waterproof structure, the two sets of first waterproof plates 23 or second waterproof plates 24 can automatically close after the power cord plug is unplugged from the socket. This prevents the waterproof structure on the socket body 1 from failing to function properly due to human negligence. The design ensures that the first waterproof plates 23 and 24 are in contact with each other but not connected. They can be separated independently, preventing the other set of sockets 20 from being exposed when only one set is used. This further enhances the protective capability of the first and second waterproof plates 23 and 24 for the sockets 20. During operation, the front ends of the two sets of sockets 20 on the socket body 1 are respectively blocked by the first and second waterproof plates 23 and 24, providing protection for the sockets 20. When one set of sockets 20 is to be used, it is first pulled to the sides corresponding to the first or second waterproof plate 23 or 24. When the second waterproof plate 24 is pulled to the sides, its bottom end is fixed. The slider 45 slides in the groove 27, compressing the second spring 44. When both sets of second waterproof plates 24 are fully open, the socket 20, previously blocked by the second waterproof plate 24, can be used normally. When the plug is inserted into the socket 20, the second waterproof plate 24 abuts against the plug, keeping the second spring 44 compressed. After the plug is removed from the socket 20, the second spring 44 pushes the second waterproof plate 24 back to its original position, allowing the second waterproof plate 24 to re-close the socket 20, opening to both... Similarly, when the first waterproof plate 23 is pulled to the side, the bracket 30 fixed on the second waterproof plate 24 will abut against the rotating rod 36 and push the rotating rod 36 to rotate. The top of the rotating rod 36 will abut against the bracket 30 fixed on the first waterproof plate 23, making it difficult to push the first waterproof plate 23, thus fixing the first waterproof plate 23. When it is necessary to use both sets of sockets 20 on the socket body 1 at the same time, it is only necessary to push the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 to the sides at the same time.

[0025] Furthermore, a first spring 40 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 39, and the side of the first spring 40 away from the moving block 39 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 41. A counterweight 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 36.

[0026] During operation, the movable block 39 slides in the mounting plate 41 and is connected to the first spring 40. The first spring 40 provides support for the movable block 39, thereby ensuring that the rotating rod 36 supports the bracket 30. When the rotating rod 36 rotates and abuts against a set of brackets 30, when pushing the first waterproof plate 23 or the second waterproof plate 24 corresponding to the set, it is difficult to push the first spring 40 to slide in the mounting plate 41 due to the uneven force on the rotating rod 36. This makes it difficult to push the rotating rod 36. A counterweight 37 is also fixed at the bottom of the rotating rod 36 so that the rotating rod 36 can automatically straighten under the action of gravity.

[0027] Furthermore, an extension plate 35 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 33, and the rear end of the extension plate 35 is on the same plane as the front end of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24.

[0028] During operation, the extension plate 35 is fixed on the fixed plate 33 to provide protection for the rotating rod 36. The rear end of the extension plate 35 is on the same horizontal plane as the front end of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 so that the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 will not come into contact with the extension plate 35 when they slide.

[0029] Furthermore, both the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are in contact with the socket body 1. The rear ends of the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are fixedly connected with a locking block 42. The locking block 42 is locked inside the slot 43. The first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22 and the locking block 42 are all made of plastic.

[0030] During operation, the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are connected together by two sets of connecting posts 34 and fixed in the slot 43 by the rear-end fixed locking block 42. By pulling the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22, the locking block 42 is deformed, which can remove the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 from the socket body 1, and at the same time facilitate the installation of the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 onto the socket body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the front ends of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 are both provided with inclined surfaces 25, and the front ends of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 are both fixedly connected with anti-slip strips 26, which are made of rubber.

[0032] During operation, the inclined surface 25 is designed to prevent hand injuries during the repositioning process of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24. Anti-slip strips 26 are also fixed on the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 to increase the friction between the hand and the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24, thereby better pushing the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 to move.

[0033] Furthermore, a fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 29, and a rod 32 is inserted into the fixing block 31. The side of the rod 32 away from the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 33. A hole corresponding to the rod 32 is opened on the inner wall of the groove 29.

[0034] During operation, the fixing block 31 slides on the insertion rod 32 to ensure more stable movement of the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24. At the same time, the groove 29 is also provided with holes corresponding to the insertion rod 32 to prevent the insertion rod 32 from abutting against the groove 29.

[0035] Working principle: During operation, the front ends of the two sets of sockets 20 on the socket body 1 are respectively blocked by two sets of first waterproof plates 23 and second waterproof plates 24 to protect the sockets 20. When one set of sockets 20 is to be used, the socket 20 is first pulled to the sides corresponding to the first waterproof plate 23 or the second waterproof plate 24. When the second waterproof plate 24 is pulled to the sides, the slider 45 fixed at the bottom of the second waterproof plate 24 will slide in the slide groove 27, and the second spring 44 will be compressed. When the two sets of second waterproof plates 24 are fully opened, the sockets 20 that were originally blocked by the second waterproof plates 24 can be used normally. At this time, when the plug is inserted into the socket 20, the second waterproof plate 24 will abut against the plug, thereby causing the second spring 44 to be compressed. Continuing to be in a compressed state, after the plug is pulled out of the socket 20, the second spring 44 can push the second waterproof plate 24 to reset, and the second waterproof plate 24 can re-close the socket 20. Similarly, when the first waterproof plate 23 is pulled to both sides, the bracket 30 fixed on the second waterproof plate 24 will abut against the rotating rod 36 and push the rotating rod 36 to rotate. The top of the rotating rod 36 will abut against the bracket 30 fixed on the first waterproof plate 23, making it difficult to push the first waterproof plate 23, thus fixing the first waterproof plate 23. When it is necessary to use both sets of sockets 20 on the socket body 1 at the same time, it is only necessary to push the first waterproof plate 23 and the second waterproof plate 24 to both sides at the same time.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
